Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

I still hold to what I said below, but these TSA Bumper Strips are funny:

Ahh, Bruce ... I needed a good laugh today, and you just supplied it, you Devildog you.

Sad. But true. Wonder why the anti spam kicks in for a short comment?

Not to be a post whore or anything. Just wondering why "Sad. But true." triggers the comment spam filter, but adding the followon sentence allowed the comment to be posted. Anyone know? Just curious.

Our anti-spam thing is a pain in the butt. We would have twice the comments if it were not so strange.

B-U-T-T is probably in the spam filter. Most filters are not very smart - just pattern matching with some LEET logic.

Or not - obviously butt is ok. Still, it sometimes is impossible to figure out the pattern that was flagged unless you have the source code.

Sanford and son are no longer the largest "junk" dealers. But their truck still looks better than a Gov/motors volt.

Those are very funny - a couple are laugh out loud funny.

Thanks for posting.

Hilarious! I may print a couple at cafepress.

Re the spam filter--I've had responses rejected on the first Submit click, but accepted on the second attempt.

Yeah... so have I. So I tried several times (on this computer)... Then figuring it was because this one was (sort-of) new, I tried on a different computer. Same thing. That's when I added the follow-on sentence and it went. Sigh.... I didn't want to cause problems and get banned for the multiple attempts, so I asked the question.

Ahhh, well. I'll just have to remember to be more wordy in my comments henceforth. Heh.

Good post Bruce. Liked the first one the best. Reflects how juvenile the whole process has become.
